A great time!

What a wonderful couple of hours we had. Water was beautiful and we saw many turtles. Very friendly service and is something we would definitely do again.

Peaceful Paddle with a Touch of Wildlife

We hired a double kayak (two people in one) for about an hour and had a great time paddling around the bay. It was self-guided, which gave us the freedom to go at our own pace and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. We even spotted a turtle’s head pop up — a nice little surprise! The experience was a good mix of light workout and fun. The fresh air and calm water made it really refreshing. The owner was super friendly and easy to chat with :) If you're looking for something active but relaxing, this is a great way to spend an hour on the water. Definitely recommend it!

Kayaking

Seat backs would have been more comfortable. Rubber washes on all of the paddles. Friendly host.

a real highlight

You don't need a fancy electric motor or set of sails to touch some water and see turtles up close. My wife and I never felt unsafe or 'in too deep' as we're noticeably a bit older and heavier than our 20s. Lovely owner
